My fantastic host (you know who you are) gave me a quick tour of Milano. I was only there for 24 hours. I almost lost my mind in 10 Corso Como. I didn't focus on the clothes but the accessories!!!! The shoes, bags, rings, and earrings were fantastic. I also liked the bath gels and other things in the "no one really needs this section." I didn't buy anything of course. Between the exchange rate and my soon to be unemployed status I had no business spending that kind of money.
Another thing that brings me great joy is food. We stopped by Peck's first floor. I could go crazy in there. It was very crowded and I noticed the prices there were not cheap.
Next stop the Duomo. Nothing I can say. Overwhelming.
We went to eat on the top floor of La Rinascente, a major department store. The floor has been recently renovated. It reminds me of the floor in Bloomingdales' flagship store where all the yummy food items are. There are several restaurants and plenty of delicious things to buy.
A shot of the Duomo from the roof patio of La Rinascente.
The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele has to be one of the nicest "malls" I have been in.
The view from my hotel room in Venice. I like the interesting external spiral stairs of a former palace.
I am still uploading photos to my Flickr page.
